Jim Hayford on Harvey: “Tyler Harvey was
the surprise of last year’s team. Now he will come in as a
redshirt sophomore with three years of experience in the program
and needs to validate the end of his freshman season. Tyler can
shoot the ball from outside, he can score off the drive, and he is
very respected by all his teammates. He is an outstanding young man
that we are building our basketball program on.”

2012-13: Was one of a school-record nine Eagles
to be selected to the Big Sky Conference All-Academic team.
Finishing the season as the hottest Eagle, Harvey scored 132 points
(16.5 average) on 55 percent shooting from the field (52-of-94,
including 20-of-44 3-point attempts) in EWU’s last eight
games. In the first 13 games he played in the 2012-13 season,
Harvey scored just 17 points. He made the first start of his career
against Sam Houston State (2/23/13) in an 81-76 BracketBusters
victory. He finished with seven points, eight rebounds, four
assists and three blocked shots at point guard, including a pair of
key blocked shots in the last 1:21 to help preserve a seven-point
advantage. He followed that with 22 points, four assists and four
rebounds against Northern Colorado (2/28/13), then had 21 points,
eight assists, three steals and four more rebounds versus North
Dakota (3/2/13). He ended the year with two performances of 17
points and eight rebounds each. In one of them -- EWU’s 87-73
win at Idaho State (3/7/13) -- he also finished with seven assists
and scored 15 points in the first half to help the Eagles to an
early 40-19 lead. He burst onto the scene at Northern Arizona
(2/9/13) when EWU was down by 18 with 7:35 left to play in
regulation. He came off the bench to score 14 points in the last
8:31 of the game and rallied the Eagles to an improbable 77-74
overtime victory in Flagstaff, Ariz. Eastern trailed by 13 when
Harvey entered the game for the second time with 3:42 left. He
never came out after that, and scored eight points in regulation
and six in overtime. In EWU’s next game versus Southern Utah
(2/16/13), he helped preserve EWU’s 14-point win by scoring
all 11 of his points in the last 6:10 of the game. He then scored
17 of his 23 points in the second half of EWU’s 89-80 loss at
Portland State (2/18/13), including 11 in a 16-0 run that turned a
12-point halftime deficit into a three-point lead. Harvey had
entered the NAU game having averaged just 4.8 minutes in the first
13 games he had played as an Eagle. He had made only 6-of-17
overall and 3-of-9 treys for the season prior to the NAU game.
